[Kenwood] Tough Kenwood rigs

Wed Nov 28 12:20:03 EST 2012

I own a TS-930SAT. I am the second owner. It is very clean, and you 
could never tell that it was owned by anyone. I just keep on running 
it, and wouldn't give it up for the latest "Whiz Bang" with all the 
bells and whistles!
I have applied ALL the Service Bulletins.
I also replaced the "El Cheapo" PS fan with a 12VDC ball bearing 
[Computer CPU Cooler], one that draws HALF the current than the factory 
one. (MY service bulletin!)
Runs just great!
One thing NOT covered in ANY Service Bulletin, regards the ATU section. 
I lubricated the bushings with a Teflon lubricant, and tightened the 
tiny allen locking setscrews. This made it a lot better in operation.
BTW - Cliff is a darn good person! He knows these beasties inside and out!
I have NO financial interests! I get NOTHING for a "plug". I know from 
asking him questions just how well he KNOWS Kenwoods!
